Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring, the team announced Tuesday.

Segura, who was acquired in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks in November, was injured in Monday’s game against Houston.

In eight games this season, he is hitting .313 with one home run, three RBIs and three stolen bases. Last season with Arizona, Segura hit .319 with 20 homers and 33 stolen bases.

The Mariners also selected infielder Mike Freeman from Triple-A Tacoma, and designated left-handed pitcher Paul Fry for assignment.
Seattle has seven days to trade, release or outright Fry to the minors.
Freeman, 29, hit .333 in three games with Tacoma this season.
